Ranged weapons are weapons used to attack targets from a distance. They are associated with the Ranged Combat skill tree.

The principal ranged weapon types documented by the game are:

• Longbows
• Shortbows
• Crossbows

These types were formally identified in the equipment tooltips introduced with Release 45. Ranged weapon effectiveness is supported by skills in the Ranged tree, including abilities that affect accuracy, attack range, and damage.

Crafted ranged weapons can inherit bonuses from components such as bowstrings and bowstaves. Individual weapon pages document their required components, ammunition, and other properties.
